The titles below are currently available for reviewing. NDU Press will provide reviewers with a complimentary copy. If interested in writing a review, email your name, address, a short biography and list of credentials/area of expertise, and choice of title to the book review editor at: yambrickl@ndu.edu. Also attach a brief writing sample in a Word document; if you have any written work that has been published and is available on the Internet, a hyperlink that goes directly to your work (NOT to the home page of the Web site in which your work appears) will suffice. Unsolicited reviews of recent publications also will be considered; please contact the book review editor prior to submission to determine if the title under consideration is appropriate or is already being reviewed.

Reviews submitted to Joint Force Quarterly must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. No payment or royalty can be made to authors. The editor reserves the right to edit and abridge reviews. Because of the fixed overall page limitation for each issue of JFQ, reviewers cannot be guaranteed publication in a particular issue.

Guidelines of basic scholarship apply to book reviews. Reviewers should evaluate the book’s contribution (be it positive or negative) to the larger body of scholarship on the topic, using specific examples. Criteria for evaluation include the style, authority, and objectivity of the book. Reviews can be 800–1,000 words in length. A heading with pertinent information about the book should be included with the text. Click below to see the current roster of books for reviewer consideration:
